You should do a comparison on several different makes of retractable rods.

The title is defo click bait. These days I personally think these guys paid to do the advertisements. You never here any bad comments or stay away cause of x y z... They are all sales reps

Good product vlog with some great information, when i saw the reels that you were using i thought that they look like great reels, then i looked them up on the web OMG at £375 each that is where they can stay. For two rod's and two reels = £890 you have got to be having a laugh, You say that these rods pack down so that you can fit them in your car boot for more convenience, i don't find £890 convenient in any way. Your title says Which retractable carp rods are best? so you are saying that these are the best with no comparison to any other rods, that a great unbiased video that you made!!!!

Rods are great value, the reel no . I'v used a mitchell £25 carp reel for 5yrs no problems at all.

those whisker 25qd reels are the bomb.

Caperlan has these types of rods now aswell. I use them and they work great!

Will you be doing a review on the Avid carp pod that features in this video?

Good I like the 2.75 test I can play fish without loosing them I not good with stronger rods I bump them off and 10ft retractable awesome

Hi may I know did this rod how many feet, can it use Spining Reel size 7500 and can can carry how many pound fish tks for yr feedback.

I have three of the custom ones that Daiwa did for Total Fishing Tackle. Nicer looking, better guides, nice red details. It’s the 3lb versions and they are really rather nice. My only complaint is that all three are slightly different lengths when extended.

Think I'll stick with my sonik extractors.

how do they hold up? did u try other semi -telescopic rods aswell? does the extendable part kinda move whil drilling the fisch or throwing?

Does the crosscast ext’s have the same parabolic action as the scopes if someone can tell?

Have been using mine this season as my main carp/commercial rod. Originally bought beacause I needed someting to carry on my bike as summer cycling to the local river and lakes where I live is easy. Also meant I could be more mobile. It plays everything from 2 to 15lb with no surpries, very responsive and not heavy when playing for longer periods. So for the price it has been great value. Yes there are other rods, but for the price it does the job. This vid helped me make that decision. I use a small Daiwa Ninja or Shimano depending on which reel I forgot to bring. Lines 6-8 lb. I find casting is accurate to about 25 metres, but thats just me. If I broke it would I buy another one, probably yes because it works and I have confidence in it. Are there better rods? Of course. But for the price increases am I getting significantly improved performance? No idea.

Lovely... ideal for the river to. When barbel fishing, but a bit out of my price range. Sadly.. great vid guys xx

Lovely!

That reel was sexy which reel is that Joe ? Oh nice whiskers cheers and you said what lead to use good tip

Phenomenal rods. I got 3 10ft 3.5lb for £200 which was the price on one scope. Caught fish to 44lb 8oz on them, great playing action. I was casting 5oz solid bags which is possibly not what they were designed for but coped with it. Coupled with my castizms (older version of those whiskers) they are very well balanced. The infinity 3 rod hold-all is good for £50 too.

Hey i saw your comment and was thinking about buying the 3lb tc version. Are the black widow ones like the ones on the video with a really nice soft tip but strong back bone?

great vid

just think they are jumping on the scope band wagon although the price is very good will have to have a look

look pretty dam good, not sure about the price of the whiskers!!! set of 5500 shims would be a lot cheaper........

If they did a 3.25tc in 9fts they might sell a few more tbh...sonik have sold thousands in that size, more than any other company.

Had those Daiwa Crosscast rods, but unfortunately Daiwa managed to screw this one up, the finish of both rods was degrading after only 3 sessions so i’ve returned them

Nice

Shame about the 9ft range only one test curve, about time free spirit built some retractable hi-s.

How do these compare to the equivalent Scopes?

@jimmym2628

Sonik Xtractor have better guides, can tell just by looking at them. A suitable reel to pair them with (to match the price and not just the size) would be Okuma Inception 6000's. Brilliant reel for the money and ive used mid tier daiwa and shimano reels in the past so i do have expereince to refer against.

@@mark13724278 I can't comment as to whether or not the sonik options available are better than these. judging by looks alone in the video, the eyelets/guides are better on my xtractor's. The insurgent rod's are even better than xtractor. If you are looking for a set of rods to fish small ponds to medium size lakes, you can not go wrong with a set of 10ft xtractor, paired with the okuma inception's. The drag on the inception out of the box is excellent. I was going to fit them with carbon washers but was so impressed that i decided it wasn't worth it.

also if you want extra yards have your spool furthest away from the reel if that makes sense
